Choose educational automation tools that match learning levels, offer open programmability, and ensure durability and safety.
Learning systems should be usable at different levels – from an introduction to robotics to complex automation solutions. Look for modular systems that grow with learning progress: e.g., simple pick-and-place tasks, later supplemented by vision systems or AI modules.
Education thrives on openness. Systems should be compatible with common programming languages (e.g., Python, Blockly, ROS) and offer open APIs. This allows learners to implement their own ideas and program in a practical way – ideal for STEM subjects, project work, or competitions.
In everyday school or university life, systems have to withstand a lot. Look for robust, maintenance-free components (e.g., drylin® plain bearings from igus), safe motion profiles, and intuitive user interfaces. This keeps the focus on learning – not on technology.
Training with robots in the education enables hands-on learning and bridges theory with practice.
Learn how to choose the right components and create a safe, hands-on environment for educational automation.
Are you looking to teach basic skills, provide professional training, or conduct university research? What age group or prior knowledge are you working with?
On the RBTX marketplace, you will find complete learning sets, robot arms, controllers, sensors, and software—tailored to educational needs and budgets.
Many systems come with learning modules, tasks, tutorials, and online courses. This allows teachers to get started right away—even without prior knowledge of robotics.
Whether as a project, elective subject, or extracurricular activity, automation can be flexibly integrated into existing curricula. igus and RBTX provide support in planning and implementation.
Many educators want to teach robotics but don’t know where to begin. Choose systems that grow with the learner. Beginners start with simple pick-and-place tasks, while advanced users integrate vision or AI modules. The technology should be openly programmable—like with Python or ROS—and durable enough for everyday classroom use. igus components are ideal: safe, low-maintenance, and ready to go. This turns theory into practice—and lessons into future skills.
